As well as looking further into The Girl in the Fireplace script, I delved a bit deeper into the Voyage of the Damned script, so here I have the extra image boards of research for the ocean liner setting. Here I've looked in more detail at props and also at the costume, looking into the 1910-1920's era.

Ocean Liner Props

Here I looked into props a bit more, focusing on the scene where the doctor walks around the reception room, so I looked at the waiters and the kinds of food and drink that would be sitting on tables and handed out: champagne, sandwiches, cheese and pineapple sticks, fruit bowls and scones.

Below is the research board for costume for women and the sort of style I'd want if I were to go with this script. I looked at the late 1900, 1910 to 1920's era of clothing and during the late 1900 to early 1910's I found that the wealthiest women wore bigger hats than those who were less well off, more like a statement of how rich you were by the size of your hat. As such 1910-1919 is characterized by a rich and exotic opulence up until the first world war in contrast to the plain practicality of garments in the late 1910's. The 1900's had long flowing dresses that covered, most of the time, all areas of the body, making as curvy as possible the silhouette of the female form. During the 1910's dresses had raised up to well above ankle height and arms were starting to be shown in the mid to later years.The 1920's however was the decade when women began to liberate themselves from constricting fashions and began to wear more comfortable clothes. Men likewise abandoned overly formal clothes and began to wear sport clothes for the first time. The suits that men wear today are still based, for the most part, on those which were worn by men in the late 1920s. In the early 20's womens' clothes changed slowly and many were still reluctant to adopt the new style. However the styles of the mid to late 20's became embraced as they were associated with the styles of the Roaring Twenties, those styles that would still be characterizing fashions into the early 1930's.

Ocean Liner Costume

After researching this script in more detail I did find that this script hadn't enthused me as much as The Girl in the Fireplace script did. However though, I do like the whole costume aspect of this script and the possibilities of the ships design in space, and the landscapes of space that can be created. Ultimately though I have decided on the Louis XV setting to produce my Pre-production bible for, as I think I will find more enjoyment in designing most aspects of this script, especially the costume. Furthermore, since the costume and props of Versailles are set in one time and not with possibilities of future elements, I hopefully wont be spending too much time on designing the elements.
